It's owned by the Cairn Group who also manage the DT Newcastle Airport. If it's anywhere near as good as that one it will be a welcome addition.
IIRC there was planning permission to extend the hotel by around eighty rooms although I'm not sure if that is still going ahead or not.

DT Newcastle Airport of one of the best DT I've stayed at in the UK, so hopefully the HHonours treatment and general standard us up with DT Newcastle.
They should open a Fratellos there
If Spring 2016 is the expected date it will probably just be simple room refurbs? I would guess an 80 room extension would take longer than that.
